Description of the problem	After purchasinng my vehicle, i noticed a distinct hard object just under the seating surface. At first i thought it was a seat adjustment such as a lumbar support on the seat bottom, but that is not the case. I was, and still am, sitting directly on the motor controls for the seat. I contacted the dealer where i bought it twice about the problem and was told to take it to a dealer here in florida where i work. I took it to a lincoln dealer in west palm beach. The service rep. Felt the seat and immediately told me that there was a problem with the manufacturing of the seat. He asked me to leave the vehicle and they would fix the seat the following day by installing some additional padding. I took a rental car provided by them back to my apartment. I was contacted the following day by the same dealer rep. And was told that since there were no previous similar complaints that they could not make the repairs. I then contacted lincoln's customer care service team and was told that i would be contacted shortly by a customer care specialist, which i was the following day. I was told that this nonconformity was a part of the design of the seats and that he was closing the file.
